cap't...iffin you were just going there the following week...i couldv'e played tour guide fer ye....

w are buying a house next town over from tarpon. i love that area. tarpon is a once-famous liitle greek community. best giros around.

as far as piratical stuff...i fear the worst, but there are other "nautical" things you might enjoy:

A mile south of the Sponge Docks (you must go to the sponge docks!) is downtown Tarpon Springs, which is listed in The National Register of Historic Places. A mixture of antique shops, art galleries, specialty shops, and restaurants, this area is the vibrant center of the city. Also in this area is the Cultural Center, where a variety of exhibits, concerts, and programs are held St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral, a replica of St. Sophia Cathedral in Constantinople, is open daily to visitors and worshipers. At the Universalist Church, the paintings of world-renowned landscape artist George Imess, Jr. can be seen from October to May. (they also offer cheap boat rides at the sponge docks out to the gulf ~$6, they are very nice/relaxing, and can usually see dolphins)

APRIL 2004 SUNSET BEACH CONCERT

if you are going to a beach wanting no crowds i reccommend:

Fred Howard Park, west of Florida Avenue, is a 150 - acre county park with a mile-long causeway connecting the offshore swimming area and the mainland. This beautiful park is open from 7 a.m. until sunset and offers barbeque grills, sheltered pavilions, children's playgrounds, fishing, windsurfing, public restrooms, and beach showers.

some other liitle towns close by to find thing to do is port richey and new port richey...clearwater, st pete, and tampa are just down the way. (there is a "pirate ship" boat tour in clearwater i think...ask lady elaina, she lives more down that way.
